MICROWAVE CHEEZ WHIZ in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 min., stirring after 1-1/2 min. Spoon into potato shells; top with remaining ingredients.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size Wise

Savor every bite of this warm appetizer. Each serving, 1 potato skin, goes a long way on flavor.

Shortcut

Prepare as directed, substituting frozen waffle fries or french fries for the baked potato shells. Bake fries as directed on package. Place on serving plate. Serve topped with remaining ingredients.

Substitute

To prepare using VELVEETA® instead of the CHEEZ WHIZ, cut 1/2 lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA into 1/2-inch cubes; place in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until melted, stirring after 1-1/2 min. Pour into potato shells, then top with remaining ingredients as directed.

Good do ahead recipe. I baked potatoes the night before and used insides for mashed potatoes for supper that night. Took to family gathering on Thanksgiving. Everyone loved them.

I love quick, fun appetizers. They are great for dinner or entertaining. These were delicious, and my 5-year old had fun helping with the toppings.

I am not an experienced cook, and was confused with this recipe. I could not understand if the potatoes were to be baked before starting any of the steps, or if baking them after they were cut was the only time to bake. I think that the 5 minute prep time is an exaggeration. It took me quite a while to get the potatoes scraped out, and I only did 5 of them.

I also enjoy potatoes. These skins were great. Easy quick meal or side dish for stacking.
